Why China Is in Africa - If You Don’t Know, Now You Know | The Daily Show 

If US can provide better offer. Then do it.

That's true, I can genuinely say I don't care right now 🤷🏾‍♂️.

It's not just africa, they are doing it to poor countries in eastern europe too. Maybe not to the same degree. But it's going on everywhere.

China has been a dominant power for centuries in SE Asia without invading anyone there, unlike the west who invaded and colonized the ENTIRE region as soon as they set foot in the region Also, last time Indonesia ALLIED with USA, 5 million people DIED in genocide. Further tens of thousands in East Timor. And almost 90% of Freeport money went to AMERICA instead of Indonesia even though this mining company operated on Indonesian soil.

@@steggopotamus and SEA region too. Myanmar military coup is MADE IN CHINA.

I agree with you. I am European and have to say: If other fully industrialized nations would have had the guts to invest as much as China did, they would have done. I don't want to see African countries being suppressed by yet another colonizing force, but I don't think for a minute that other countries would do anything else. Might actually be worse. I heard there is a global superpower that likes to make things up in order to outright invade.

Europe and USA need to up their game and invest too. That way Africa's position becomes independent.

I'm Ghanaian and I will take Chinese loans for infrastructure anyday, at least when the Chinese leave, they leave something behind. They even have the guts to talk about taking over airports when the US army is trying to take over the largest terminal in Ghana's national Airport. It's just propaganda, Americans don't know how their government and their allies were treating african countries.

@@MissMoontree That would mean anyone is interested in having truly independent African countries. Let's face it: All every investing country wants is exploit African countries as much as possible. I just feel bad for the countries being in this position for so long now.

I suspect China's strategy is to pay a large bribe to the president and his cronies up front, on the clear understanding that the project funding remains in Chinese hands, and no one else puts out their hand. That is the reason Chinese projects are completed on time and within budget.

Africa keeps Chinese engineers and builders employed as China hit a building saturation point around 2010. A black face is ment to make it believable. Trevor your great but this one I can't ride with you.

you absolute bot

The USA, The UK, and France are funding wars to take the ressources without paying. They literally destroy Libya. The USA is extracting minerals ressources in DR Congo yet that country is not benefiting anything.

@@willboun8171 Why don't they get it themselfs? Oh wait that would require effort which goes against the nature of Africans

Right, the Chinese are working in construction areas in Africa but u will never see not one white person in construction area after exploiting the continent for centuries.

Army bases

This "woke" punk is just here to feed us anti-China bs.

Ffs stop toeing the anti china line. China literally provided EVIDENCE of never confiscating, and you're reinterpreting that as a threat... There's a reason they chose china, any loan from the west would've both been more expensive AND had political AND economic strings attached- true colonialism. I didn't realize you were so biased until now Meanwhile evergrande can't repay its loans to western debtors and you're salivating over selling its assets

@@goldsilvervscrisiscollapse4320 CCP bot stop it lol 😂. Even your name is hilarious.

@@orkkojit This accusation is just evidence that you can't fight me logically, on an intellectual basis, and must resort to some unprovable accusation that actually makes no sense, especially when considering how well I've been able to linguistically dominate you.

@@aidk23 and is the US complaining about being in a debt trap?

Atleast in the latter the beneficiary has a choice. African countries prefer China because china doesn't interfere with their internal issues.

Funny you mention that, a very similar thing happened to John Magufuli, he was murdered after not giving into Big Pharma’s covid narrative....

@stryfetc1 Yes, really look him up and other African leaders that have been assassinated, Lumumba etc.

Except half the infrastructure China has built was with cheap products and the concrete and roads are already breaking down and it hasn't even been 20 years yet

​@@mwara2444 speaking from an American who has potholes in front of his house being consistently worked on for 20 consecutive years lol

@@mwara2444 they are doing the same thing in other countries around the world. Jamaica is also on their takeover list.

I think that’s a little naive way to view this situation. I mean of course it’s better than starting wars, in the first place, but to put other countries into a situation of long term dependency trying to exploit their weak position, that’s not exactly peaceful either.

The problem is China isn’t “supporting” the economy their exploiting it

why dont you read Vijay Prashad and Pepe Escobar to learn more?

there ARE strings attached.

One question, how would adding more infrastructure affect climate change and the creatures that are a big part of the continent. Would they be destroyed, become extinct or become attractions in a zoo.

@@louisecollard2320 many people in Africa don’t even have food on their table, and this is what you are worried about?

Who in the world would loan big amounts without collateral? All contracts need offer and acceptance as part of the forming of contracts. Contracts under duress are also unenforceable. If they aren't happy with the terms they are free to find loans at other places

if only you knew how the world actually works

This is a very naive take on the world.

@@H3LLS4NG3L So, can you explain your own sophisticated take on the world? What @najee2 said is true. You cannot imagine the amount of corruption going on in the majority of these African countries. They take on all these Chinese infrastructure projects so that they can turn around and tell their fellow countrymen; hey look, we are doing things. But the common person there is unaware of the egregious terms and conditions of those loans. Meanwhile the same African leaders will send their kids to study in Europe and America, go abroad for medical treatments, and vacation overseas also. Heck, some will even fly business class to go watch Barcelona or Chealsea FC play. Meanwhile their stadiums back home are crumbling. It is up to the African leaders to build their countries from the bottom up, and not turn to shortcuts. This idea that Africa is weak and so must be eternally aided must stop. If Africans cannot stand up for themselves, then no one will. By the way, just a few decades ago, Chinese people were dying of starvation. But now China is one of the biggest economic powers. Why, because they decided to stand up for themselves. If they didn't, they'd still simply be the world's factory. But China has decided to unabashedly copy western technology and make some of their own. And it is working for them. The lesson here is that Africa can do things for themselves if they set out to do them. Not waiting on the next colonial power. First it was the Europeans, now the Chinese. Who will be next: The Arabs?

Lol, they know exactly what they’re doing, they simply don’t care cuz it doesn’t affect them personally, they’re rich beyond the 3rd generation and their kids usually don’t even stay in Africa, those leaders are simply businessmen and they pass down the sufferings to the people. They’re selfish and cowards and most of them if not all of them are sociopath and psychopath ( no feelings at all, no emotions) how can you live in a gold house when there’s no clean water no electricity and roads to the next town and you’re in charge, only socio/psychopath can sleep at night on those conditions 🤷🏾‍♂️ and that’s not only in Africa, almost every Black Country on earth got the same problem and don’t tell me it’s the whitemen, sure he doesn’t really help but the blame is 80% on us and I don’t see this ending anytime soon

They don't care about the people. They want the land

It also means most of them don't know how investments and loans work in their own country.

@@joelau2383 Not sure if we mean the same. I meant that people don't take up the ball and judge China for something their own country would also do without hesitation.

@@zakkvanish3668 Im glad that there's many level headed people here, I also think countries should take turns with imperialism. It's only fair..

China just want to put Chinese people in other people countries and make them rich and powerful and be loyal to communists China and they want to breed more Chinese in every country in the world in the Caribbean these Chinese couples 5 and 6 kids is like they going a breeding race in other countries

@@zakkvanish3668 Agreed but I hate the use of the word colonisation or even neo-colonisation. It takes away from the horrors that was actual colonisation. A way for the west to avoid the horrors they committed. China never mutilated Congolese who did not fulfill a gold quota.

It must be different with neighboring Asian countries, China doesn't want them to see it as a threat, even if it's more and more threatening with Taiwan By the way, the situation with Laos is similar to African countries'. Or maybe worse, since they share a border and Laos is almost a Chinese province

@@goldflo91 Taiwan isn’t a country. It’s been a part of China longer than USA has been a nation. There is a One China Policy in UN, and in Taiwan constitution and Chinese constitution. There is also the UN Resolution 2758 which gave the legal representation of the One China Policy back to mainland China and Taiwan is a province of China. Don’t attempt separate China like you separated Korea into two parts.

@@Hoo88846 "Don't attempt separating China like Korea was" : well, you should say that to those nationalists who flew China to escape Mao Zedong and the communists, and founded a separate country 😉 If only mainland China got rid of its communist dictatorship, maybe the Chinese islands would be willing to come back and reunite

@@goldflo91 China has been de facto capitalistic for four decades and is still being demonized. It’s got nothing to do with the EXCUSE of communism. Japan, Germany, Vietnam and many countries have communist parties. I don’t see USA being as relentless in demonizing those countries as China. In fact, japan and Germany are American military allies. Why? Because it’s got nothing to do with communism. USA just wants to help Germany and Japan, the two axis of evil powers that started WWII, to finish their unfinished dreams of reconquer Russia for Germany and China for Japan. Communism is one of the many excuses to keep attacking China and Russia for the axis of evil Germany and Japan.

@@goldflo91 If KMT didn’t opt for a civil war but instead did elections, there wouldn’t have been KMT on one side, and a CPC on the other side.
